"There’s something magical about a show that can bring you to tears of laughter and sympathy at virtually the same moment.” Variety
"Signs" story tells of Trudy, an eccentric being who keeps close relationships with “space chums” to decipher earthling’s behavior. She tells them about the human condition, recalling the stories of multiple people including grandparents Lud and Marie, runaway teenager Agnus Angst, a wealthy but sickly lady named Kate, and many, many more.
The show stars one virtuoso performer taking up the challenge of playing twelve unique roles. Written by Jane Wagner and originally starring Tony Award-winning actress Lily Tomlin, the show has been praised for its subversive themes while also mixing in comedy with its dramatic story beats.
Intertwining colorful, complex, and hysterically funny characters, The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe is a timeless play about what makes us human, the story holds lasting and quick-witted power as an examination of American society.
